Serra Gelada Natural Park Launches Easter Catamaran Tours Showcasing Hidden Coastline

Alfaz / Albir / 27 March 2026

Visitors to Spain’s Costa Blanca are being offered a unique opportunity to explore the coastline from the sea, as Serra Gelada Natural Park unveils special catamaran excursions as part of the regional ‘Pascua als Parcs’ (Easter in the Parks) campaign.

The experience, titled “The Hidden Face of Serra Gelada”, will take place on 29 March and 12 April, with guided two-hour trips departing from Port of Altea aboard vessels operated by Mundo Marino.

A New Perspective on a Coastal Landmark

The excursions offer a rare chance to view the park’s dramatic coastline from the water, including:

Towering cliffs rising above the Mediterranean
Unique fossil dune formations
Diverse marine wildlife and ecosystems

The initiative is designed to highlight the connection between marine and terrestrial environments, combining sightseeing with environmental education.

Focus on Sustainability and Education

Organisers say the tours aim to raise awareness of the importance of protecting coastal ecosystems while making nature more accessible to the public. The activity is open to all ages and forms part of a broader programme encouraging sustainable tourism during the Easter holiday period.

Appeal for UK Visitors

For UK tourists visiting nearby resorts such as Benidorm and Altea, the tours provide a scenic and educational alternative to traditional beach activities, offering a deeper insight into one of the region’s most important natural spaces.

Places are limited, and advance booking is required due to high seasonal demand, so it is necessary to register in advance through the website mundomarino.es .
